Objective To compare and analyze the application value of domestic Octoparms and imported Celect inferior vena cava filter(IVCF)in the interventional treatment of venous thromboembolism(VTE).Methods Forty patients with VTE were randomly divided into Octoparms group(experimental group)and Celect group(control group)according to the double-blinded method of the central random system.All the patients underwent filter placement,catheter-directed thrombolysis and filter retrieval.The primary end point was the success of filter placement and retrieval,and the secondary end point included indwelling complications such as the occurrence of pulmonary embolism(PE)and filter tilt and migration.Results Forty patients were enrolled in this study,22 patients and 18 patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group,respectively.Among them,11 cases were identified with right lower extremity deep vein thrombosis,29 cases with left lower extremity deep vein thrombosis,17 cases with PE,and 6 cases with inferior vena cava thrombosis.The success rate of IVCF placement was 100%in all participants.Immediately after filter place-ment,the angle of filter tilt was(3.8±2.3)° in the experimental group and(4.9±2.8)° in the control group(t=1.44,P=0.16).Filter retrieval was successful in 21 cases(21/22,95.5%)of the experimental group and 17 cases(17/18,95.5%)of the control group.There was no significant difference between the two groups(t=0.14,P=0.89).The mean indwelling time of filter was(8.0±2.1)days in the experimental group and(9.7±3.1)days in the control group(t=0.73,P=0.47).The angle of filter tilt was(5.3±3.4)° in the experimental group and(5.7±7.7)° in the control group(t=0.19,P=0.85).There was no significant difference for filter placement and retrieval between the two groups(t=0.48 and 2.00,P=0.06 and 0.64,respectively).There were no complications of filter migration,strut penetration or new PE in both groups.Conclusion The application value of domestic Octoparms and impor-ted Celect IVCF is similar in interventional treatment of VTE.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for basic analysis of the pharmacodynamic substance in Stahlianthus involucratus. METHODS Overall 24 SD male rats were randomly divided into blank group （purified water）， and administration group （ethanol extract of S. involucratus， 15.75 g/kg， calculated by crude drug）， with 12 rats in each group. They were given drug liquid/purified water intragastrically， twice a day， every 6-8 h， for consecutive 3 days. After medication， the blood， urine and fecal samples were collected from two groups of rats. UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS technology was used to identify the chemical constituents in the ethanol extract of S. involucratus， and metabolites in the blood， urine and fecal of rats after intragastrical administration of the ethanol extract of S. involucratus. Multivariate statistical analysis was employed to screen various serum metabolites. Metabolic pathways were analyzed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0 platform. RESULTS A total of 38 chemical constituents were identified from the ethanol extract of S. involucratus， including fourteen prototype components and three metabolites identified from 5 urine samples， nine prototype components identified from fecal samples， and ten prototype components and one metabolite identified from serum samples. A total of 71 differential metabolites were screened from two groups of rat serum samples， of which 44 differential metabolites， such as ferulic acid， glycyrrhizin， were up-regulated and 27 differential metabolites， such as arachidonic acid， phenylacetylglutamine， were down-regulated. The 71 differential metabolites were mainly enriched in 11 metabolic pathways， including phenylalanine metabolism， linoleic acid metabolism， arachidonic acid metabolism， and tryptophan metabolism. CONCLUSIONS Ferulic acid， liquiritigenin， isofraxidin and formononetin may be the material basis that directly exert pharmacological effects of S. involucratus. S. involucratus may exert anti-inflammatory effects by affecting metabolic pathways， including arachidonic acid metabolism and tryptophan metabolism.

Enteroendocrine cells are specialized hormone-secreting cells formed by the gradual differentiation of crypt stem cells in the intestine, which play a vital role in regulating metabolism. With advances in biological technologies, the roles of various transcription factors and signaling pathways in the differentiation stages of enteroendocrine cell have become clearer. In addition, the hormone secretion of enteroendocrine cells exhibits plasticity, influenced by different nutritional states and changes in gut microbiota, which affect the differentiation and functional regulation of enteroendocrine cells. Organoid models serve as novel in vitro culture models that facilitate further exploration into enteroendocrine cell functionality.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate gel in preventing adhesion after prophylactic enterostomy.Methods:One hundred and twenty four patients from 6 hospitals were enrolled in this prospective multi-center randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomized into the study group ( n=59) or the control group ( n=65).All patients underwent prophylactic enterostomy. Patients of study group received odium hyaluronate gel for adhesion-prevention,while those in control group did not receive any adhesion-prevention treatment. The incidence of moderate to severe adhesion around the incision in the stoma area were evalutated during stoma reduction surgery. Results:The incidence of moderate to severe adhesion around the incision in the stoma area was 6.3% in the study group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) compared to that of the control group (32.6%). Conclusion:Sodium hyaluronate gel can safely and effectively reduce the incidence of moderate and severe adhesions after abdominal surgery.

Objective:To summarize the clinical, pathological and muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated nemaline myopathy (NM; HIV-NM).Methods:The present patient was a 23-year-old man with HIV infection who developed progressive proximal weakness and atrophy for more than 10 months. He was admitted to the Department of Neurology of Beijing Ditan Hospital in early June 2021. Electromyography showed myogenic findings. The serum creatine kinase was 202.4 U/L. CD 4+ count was 585×10 6/L. Serum monoclonal immunoglobulin (M protein) was negative. The patient underwent MRI examination of bilateral thigh muscles, biopsy of left biceps brachii and gene detection. The clinical, pathological and muscle MRI changes of HIV-NM were summarized based on the literature review. Results:MRI examination of bilateral thigh muscles showed edema changes. Muscle biopsy showed nemaline structures in some muscle fibers, accompanied by fiber atrophy and regeneration. No gene mutation related to clinical phenotype was found by second-generation sequencing. After intravenous immunoglobulin combined with prednisone, the patient′s weakness symptoms were significantly improved. A total of 17 cases of HIV-NM (including the present case) were identified in the literature, who were aged (33.7±9.1) years. Fifteen were males and two were females. All patients developed proximal limb weakness. Creatine kinase was normal or slightly elevated. Serum monoclonal protein was positive in 3 cases (3/7). Immunosuppressive therapy was effective.Conclusions:The main clinical characteristics of HIV-NM are progressive proximal limb weakness and muscle atrophy. The muscle pathology shows a large number of nemaline structures in atrophic muscle fibers. Muscle edema can be seen on muscle MRI. This is the first report of HIV-NM in China, which may be a special subtype of immune myopathy.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of trans-nasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) on reflux and micro-aspiration during induction of general anesthesia in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:A total of 60 patients, regardless of gender, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: routine mask ventilation group (group C) and trans-nasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange group (group H). Patients in group C were pre-oxygenated with a mask for 5 min, oxygen flow of 6 L/min and FiO 2 100%, after the induction of anesthesia, the pressure mask was used to artificially assist positive pressure ventilation for 2 min when the patient′s consciousness disappeared, and 2 min later endotracheal intubation was performed.Patients in group H were pre-oxygenated with THRIVE for 5 min, oxygen flow of 30 L/min and FiO 2 100%.The oxygen flow was increased to 50 L/min during anesthesia induction.After anesthesia induction, the oxygen flow was increased to 70 L/min when the patient′s consciousness disappeared, and chin lift and/or jaw thrust was used during apnoea to maintain an open airway, the patient′s mouth was kept closed during the whole process, and 2 min later endotracheal intubation was performed.Ultrasound was used to measure the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the gastric antrum and to monitor the occurrence of gastric insufflation, and the incidence of CSA greater than >3.4 cm 2 was recorded on admission to the operating room and immediately after tracheal intubation.Supraglottic and subglottic secretions were collected at the time of tracheal intubation using visual laryngoscopy after exposing the glottis, and the pepsin content was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to assess reflux (content of pepsin in supraglottic secretion >216 ng/ml) and micro-aspiration (content of pepsinin subglottic secretion >200 ng/ml), and arterial blood gas analysis was simultaneously performed.The apnoea time was recorded, and P ETCO 2 at the first mechanical ventilation after tracheal intubation were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, PaO 2 was significantly increased and CSA was decreased immediately after tracheal intubation, and the incidence of CSA greater than >3.4 cm 2 immediately after tracheal intubation was decreased, and the incidence of gastric insufflation, reflux and micro-spiration was decreased, apnoea time was prolonged, and P ETCO 2 at first mechanical ventilation was increased in group H ( P<0.05). Conclusions:THRIVE applied during induction of general anesthesia can reduce the occurrence of reflux and micro-aspiration while ensuring oxygenation in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective:To investigate the influential factors of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and compare the therapeutic effects of mild hypothermia at different time windows and between different degrees of disease severity.Methods:Eighty-two neonates with HIE who were admitted to Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2016 to October 2021 were included in the patient group, and 123 concurrent healthy neonates were included in the control group. The influential factors of neonatal HIE were analyzed. Sixty-five neonates who received HIE were divided into four groups according to the time length between symptom onset and hospital admission (< 6 hours and 6-12 hours) and disease severity: group I (admission time < 6 hours, mild, n = 20), group II (admission time < 6 hours, moderate to severe, n = 15), group III (admission time 6-12 hours, mild, n = 17), and group IV (admission time 6-12 hours, moderate to severe, n = 13). Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aGGE) score was used as the evaluation criteria. The therapeutic effects of mild hypothermia were compared between different time windows and between different degrees of HIE. Results:Multivariable logistic regression analysis results revealed that the influential factors of neonatal HIE included gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, pregnancy examination, delivery methods, amniotic fluid contamination, abnormal fetal membranes (placenta or umbilical cord), fetal distress, and neonatal asphyxia ( P < 0.05). All 65 neonates with HIE underwent mild hypothermia treatment for 72 hours. Before treatment, aGGE score in groups I, II, III and IV was 6.02 ± 1.74 points, 2.43 ± 1.82 points, 5.23 ± 1.95 points, and 2.72 ± 1.76 points, respectively. After treatment, it was 8.13 ± 2.03 points, 6.47 ± 1.87 points, 7.86 ± 1.92 points, and 3.52 ± 1.95 points, respectively. There was significant difference in aGGE score between before and after treatment in groups I, II and III ( t = 2.87, 3.55, 3.15, all P < 0.05). aGGE score in group IV did not differ significantly between before and after treatment ( P > 0.05). Before treatment, aGGE score in children with moderate to severe HIE was lower than that in children with mild HIE. After treatment, there was no significant difference in aGGE score between groups II and III ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Pregnant women with gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes should be given intensive monitoring and learn HIE related knowledge to increase the frequency of prenatal examinations. If amniotic fluid contamination, abnormal fetal membranes (placenta or umbilical cord), fetal distress, or neonatal asphyxia occurs, timely monitoring and corresponding interventions should be given to the fetus. Mild hypothermia therapy has a certain therapeutic effect on different degrees of HIE. For moderate to severe neonates, treatment should be started within 6 hours to ensure the therapeutic effects of mild hypothermia.

Objective To explore the association between lipid profiles and left ventricular hypertrophy in a Chinese general population. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study to investigate the relationship between lipid markers [including triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein[a], and composite lipid profiles] and left ventricular hypertrophy. A total of 309,400 participants of two populations (one from Beijing and another from nationwide) who underwent physical examinations at different health management centers between 2009 and 2018 in China were included in the cross-sectional study. 7,475 participants who had multiple physical examinations and initially did not have left ventricular hypertrophy constituted a longitudinal cohort to analyze the association between lipid markers and the new-onset of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular hypertrophy was measured by echocardiography and defined as an end-diastolic thickness of the interventricular septum or left ventricle posterior wall > 11 mm. The Logistic regression model was used in the cross-sectional study. Cox model and Cox model with restricted cubic splines were used in the longitudinal cohort. Results In the cross-sectional study, for participants in the highest tertile of each lipid marker compared to the respective lowest, triglycerides [odds ratio (OR): 1.250, 95％CI: 1.060 to 1.474], HDL-cholesterol (OR: 0.780, 95％CI: 0.662 to 0.918), and lipoprotein(a) (OR: 1.311, 95％CI: 1.115 to 1.541) had an association with left ventricular hypertrophy. In the longitudinal cohort, for participants in the highest tertile of each lipid marker at the baseline compared to the respective lowest, triglycerides [hazard ratio (HR): 3.277, 95％CI: 1.720 to 6.244], HDL-cholesterol (HR: 0.516, 95％CI: 0.283 to 0.940), non-HDL-cholesterol (HR: 2.309, 95％CI: 1.296 to 4.112), apolipoprotein B (HR: 2.244, 95％CI: 1.251 to 4.032) showed an association with new-onset left ventricular hypertrophy. In the Cox model with forward stepwise selection, triglycerides were the only lipid markers entered into the final model. Conclusion Lipids levels, especially triglycerides, are associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Controlling triglycerides level potentiate to be a strategy in harnessing cardiac remodeling but deserve to be further investigated.
